[Slightly Abridged] We present a detailed statistical analysis of the column densities, N, and Doppler parameters, b, of MgII absorbing clouds at redshifts 0.4<z<1.2. We use the HIRES/Keck data and Voigt profile (VP) fitting results…

We present results from a survey of weak MgII absorbers in the VLT/UVES spectra of 81 QSOs obtained from the ESO archive. In this survey, we identified 112 weak MgII systems within the redshift interval 0.4 < z < 2.4 with 86% completeness…

We present a spectroscopic and imaging analysis of the $z_{gal} \approx 1.1334$ ultra-strong MgII absorption system identified in the $VLT$/UVES spectrum of a background quasar located at $\rho \approx 18$ kpc from a star-forming galaxy.…

We present a study of the evolution of several classes of MgII absorbers, and their corresponding FeII absorption, over a large fraction of cosmic history: 2.3 to 8.7 Gyrs from the Big Bang. Our sample consists of 87 strong (Wr(MgII)>0.3 A)…

We consider the evolution of strong (W_r(2796) > 0.3A) MgII absorbers, most of which are closely related to luminous galaxies. Using 20 high resolution quasar spectra from the VLT/UVES public archive, we examine 33 strong MgII absorbers in…

We have identified 469 MgII doublet systems having W_r >= 0.02 {\AA} in 252 Keck/HIRES and UVES/VLT quasar spectra over the redshift range 0.1 < z < 2.6. Using the largest sample yet of 188 weak MgII systems (0.02 {\AA} <= W_r < 0.3 {\AA}),…

Using the SDSS spectra of quasars included in the DR7Q or DR12Q catalogs, we search for Mg II narrow absorption doublets in the spectra data around Mg II emission lines. We obtain 17,316 Mg II doublets, within the redshift range of 0.3299<=…

We present the results of photoionization modeling of nine weak MgII (W_r<0.3 Ang) quasar absorption line systems with redshifts 1.4<z<2.4 obtained with the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope. These…

We present a search for "weak" MgII absorbers [those with W_r(2796) < 0.3 A in the HIRES/Keck spectra of 26 QSOs. We found 30, of which 23 are newly discovered. The spectra are 80% complete to W_r(2796) = 0.02 A and have a cumulative…

We present the results of a survey for intervening MgII absorbers in the redshift range z $\simeq$2-6 in the foreground of four high redshift quasar spectra, 5.79$\le z_{em}\le$6.133, obtained with the ESO VLT X-shooter. We identify 24…

[Abridged] We present 23 quasar absorption line systems selected by the MgII doublet with W_r(2796)>0.3 Ang over the redshift range 0.4<z<1.2. The kinematics are studied at ~6 km/s resolution to a 5-sigma detection threshold of 0.015 Ang.…

We present joint constraints on the distribution of MgII absorption around galaxies, by combining the MgII absorption seen in stacked background galaxy spectra and the distribution of host galaxies of strong MgII systems from the spectra of…

We have performed an analysis of over 34,000 MgII doublets at 0.36 < z < 2.29 in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data-Release 7 quasar spectra; the catalog, advanced data products, and tools for analysis are publicly available. The catalog…

We analyse the properties of MgII absorption systems detected along the sightlines toward GRBs using a sample of 10 GRB afterglow spectra obtained with VLT-UVES over the past six years. The S/N ratio is sufficiently high that we can extend…

We compare a new R = 120,000 spectrum of PG1634+706 (z_QSO = 1.337,m_V = 14.9) obtained with the HDS instrument on Subaru to a R = 45, 000 spectrum obtained previously with HIRES/Keck. In the strong MgII system at z = 0.9902 and the…

We present initial results from the first systematic survey for MgII quasar absorption lines at z > 2.5. Using infrared spectra of 46 high-redshift quasars, we discovered 111 MgII systems over a path covering 1.9 < z < 6.3. Five systems…

We present a statistical analysis of the photometric properties and spatial distribution of more than 2,800 MgII absorbers with 0.37<z<1 and rest equivalent width W_0(\lambda2796)>0.8\AA detected in SDSS quasar spectra. Using an improved…

We present detailed measurements of the redshift path density, equivalent width distribution, column density distribution, and redshift evolution of ${\MgII}$ absorbers as measured in archival spectra from the UVES spectrograph at the Very…

We present an all-southern sky survey for MgII doublet absorbers in 951 z < 4 AGN/quasar spectra from the Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES). The spectral resolution ranges from R = 1400-1700 over the wavelengths 3700 A-8800 A. The…

We present a study of strong intervening absorption systems in the near-IR spectra of 31 luminous quasars at $z>5.7$. The quasar spectra were obtained with {\it Gemini} GNIRS that provide continuous wavelength coverage from $\sim$0.9 to…
